Will Kinect be overshadowed by Black Ops?

Kinect finally arrives in the UK tomorrow and, as with any major gaming launch, retailers up and down the country will be hosting midnight launch events so that we can all queue up outside.

But will there be queues at all? With Kinect's launch coming just 24 hours after Call of Duty: Black Ops there's a chance the usual line-lovers won't be up for a second outing and an even bigger chance that they'll be behind closed door for the next month hammering Treyarch's latest.

Microsoft must be confident in their product

DasBunker5667d ago (Edited 5667d ago )

it sure has.. where are the kinect is teh amazing articles? lmao.. all is about the black oats, but again people whos looking into kinect arent mostly the COD demographic.

Christopher5667d ago

Hardcore and FPS market, CoD has already overshadowed the release of Kinect. Everyone else, "What's CoD? Have you seen this new Kinect thing from Microsoft, though?!?"

Longrod_Von_Hugendon5667d ago

The reasons for why it had been pushed back are unknown. COD is a very popular franchise and it would be foolish to underestimate it but that being the sole reason is just utter nonsense.

Kinect will be overshadowed/ignored for more reasons than just Bl-Ops I can guarantee you that. And this time next year Kinect is just going to be nothing but an after thought to the average consumer. Only the fanboys will still be harping about how revolutionary it is(LMAO) and it's still a game changer(lulz)and how gaming will never be the same again because of it...and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah .....blah.

gigaware5667d ago

LOL a FPS vs a New motion device plus its a whole lineup of games LOL. Most the people buying Kinect will either have both or could care less about COD

Jaces5667d ago

For the hardcore audience, sure. Casuals though...meh.

Bigpappy5667d ago

Kinect and Black ops do not compete for the same customers. Gaming stores are the big winners here. If response to Kinect is strong in EU, the stores there will do really well. Casuals and core spending money at the same time. Lets see how this plays out.

our local game store was sending it back to wholesale pre launch due to little interest in the product.this company losted 31 million last quarter so they don,t want to risk stocking any think unsellable

Zir05668d ago

Funny you say that because when looking at your comment history you say your "mate" brought one and returned it a couple of days ago which wouldn't be possible in the UK since its not out yet and you can't return something that hasn't been released yet. So how can you be waiting for the launch when it's already out.......

You're going to need to keep your stories consistent if you want to be a successful troll ;)

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21460d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime459d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils459d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
